5 Million Dollars 1 Terrabyte(2011) by Manuel Palou
The sculpture consists of a 1 TB Black External Hard Drive containing $5,000,000 worth of illegally downloaded files. The artist also provides a list of the illegally downloaded material. I am intrigued by sculpture because it challenges the ideas of value (this black box is “worth” more than what most will make in their life time), space (the Hard Drive contains a small library worth of books) and legality ( what makes this act “illegal”). Julianne Barto.
Kopienkritik (2011) solo project by Oliver Laric
The project combines plaster copies of sculptures from antiquity and Laric’s video essay Versions. The piece is intended to question the notion of authenticity. I enjoy how the work connects sculptures from antiquity with the digital realm. Julianne Barto.

1. Amy Herman Art Images photographed inside a Victoria’s Secret store on South Beach. The fusion of art and fashion is no more evident than in these images.The first image is actually four photographs that are fused together. It’s the same image twisted four times.

2. David Kraftsow's Yooouuutuuube
This is some pretty trippy stuff. Try it out for yourself! yooouuutuuube
This "Alice" video which is by an Australian musician named Pogo has been, by far, the most popular configuration and works really nicely - David Kraftsow Alice Bess Orwasher - Choices from Rhizone.org
I chose this from rhizome.org for two reasons. Firstly, I love unconventional art, especially when it is interactive. When I quickly researched the piece, Blow-Up, by George Yu Architects, a little further, I found out that all the surfaces were touch-sensitive and allowed viewers to “modulate sound, touch, and light”. Another reason I choice this piece was because the description of it on rhizome.org where it notes how “technology's affects on human perception”, as that is one of the reasons I love art and technology (especially when the two work in tandem).
I chose this because as my eyes move around the piece, I found myself becoming more and more interested in each of the objects and wondering why they were there. I also think it is interesting because each aspect of the piece can exist independently as well as one cohesive piece of art. Overall it is both aesthetically pleasing as well as though invoking.
Pixels - Patrick Jean
(submitted by Daniel Wright)
This is a video I saw a few years ago, but never really associated it with digital art. Pixels are what make up every digital image, and seeing them in a three-dimensional form makes me think about how images are constructed and viewed, especially the number of pixels relating to the perceived image quality.
David Horvitz is known for working with art that expresses remote settings and images exhibiting temporality. This piece of art reminds me of home. Despite the mountain range in the distance, the beach is a common and natural setting in my hometown. Most especially at dusk and at night is when the beach is most remote. This photograph efficiently captures the potential remoteness and peacefulness a setting like the beach has to offer.
Music, in my opinion, is one of the most wondrous and evolutionary forms of art. I believe it has a connection with the new media movement, and it is evident within the works of Pete Edwards. He has made electronic instruments out of some of the most abstract items, from a Barbie Karaoke machine to a handmade wooden soundboard. His work portrays music in the essence of new media: how far it has come, from a six string guitar to a homemade mix board.
Hannah Jacobs New Media Examples
Fashion is a passion of mine and is definitely a form of new media because it is constantly changing and evolving with society like new media does. I chose this because Alexander McQueen and the exhibit at the Met is a perfect example of fashion as a progressive art form using creative materials and methods and conveying messages through design.
This was a project inspired by 70's progressive rock albums. The combination of sounds and visuals is an art form that has been used to send a message and convey a feeling using computerized technology to do so, thus making it new media. I picked it because it combined images and sounds in an intriguing and exciting way for the viewer.
Tempus II - Philip Heron

This is mostly a collection of everyday objects being destroyed in slow motion. I chose this because it is breathtaking to see exactly what happens when you break something, at detail the human eye could never capture on its own.

prettyloaded.com is a site that showcases interesting loading animations for different sites. It's fun to just watch for a few minutes, and there's also a screensaver (but nothing that can be embedded). It draws attention to the design of a component of a website no one thinks much about.

Found here. Media and information has long been controlled as a result of legal rules or political/cultural reasons. I think this piece is interesting because it shows the emptiness that is left as a result of those restrictions and how where you live determines the information you have access to.

An interesting example of how a machine can use human instruction and other input(s), in this case audio, to create art.
